Eldrin wandered through Kakariko Village, picking the pockets of random passers-by. His loot bag, which was slung over his right shoulder as usual, was surprisingly empty. On his left shoulder rested a shovel. For once he seemed to know where he was going. He still didn't seem to be in a hurry, but having a purpose was still a lot for Eldrin. Eventually he made his way to Kakariko Graveyard and passed through the unguarded gate. He wandered around the graveyard for a while, checking the tombstones. He tried to break into the Royal Crypt but was unable to get through the sealed door. After that he started walking around the more wealthy portion of the graveyard, where the aristocrats and such buried their dead. He came to a mausoleum entitled
Sarvonna Family Crypt
Eldrin looked at the door to the crypt, it was not sealed physically or magically, but it was locked by a simple chain. At first Eldrin knocked politely on the door, after all, he didn't want to be rude. When no answer came he smashed the lock in a stabbing blow with his shovel. The chain slid off the door, onto the ground. He opened the door and walked in. He was in the mausoleum for about an hour before he emerged, slipping a small object into his loot bag. From there he made his way to an unmarked grave on the other side of the graveyard and dug it up. He stabbed his shovel into the ground and crouched down next to the grave, humming a lullaby to himself.

"Eldrin, I thought you were better than this." Blade said from above Eldrin.

Iona rolled onto her side in the grave and cuddled up closer to the mound of dirt acting as her pillow. She gave a sleepy sneeze and grumbled in her sleep. What was there not to like? The grave was small, dry and warm....and really dark. She started up, her eyes wide, and bolted to her feet. It was getting dark and she did not like the dark! She jumped out of the grave, saw Eldrin, and stumbled and fell back into it in her surprise. She climbed out of it again.
"What are you doing here? This is not the Temple of Time! The blind old man with the goat said it was over here!" she said, grumpy from her nap. She turns around and sees Aetis curled around a statue of a female angel. "You cheating little rat!" she cries and the snake lowered his head and slid off the statue, inching towards her in apology.

At the sudden sound of other voices Eldrin jumped to his feet and swung the shovel up to use as a weapon. For a moment he ws tense, but seeing that they were only friends he calmed down. He stabbed the shovel back into the dirt and smiled at Blade. "Says the demonic assassin..." He pointed out, discreetly kicking something into the grave as he spoke. "Anyway, they're dead, I don't see why they'd mind... Just ask Azrael... Their spirits have no use for the junk they were buried with." He said, shoveling dirt back into the grave.

Iona watched him shovel the dirt for a while, thinking. Didn't he have standards? Call her a thief, but to be technical, she was a treasure hunter and can cheat and trick you into giving your family heirloom away in the blink of an eye. She never stooped so low as to be a grave robber! ...Well, except that time...
She snapped out of her daze. She wasn't thinking about that! Not...originally, right? She shook her head. She'd better make this fast. She knew for all his idiocy, there might be a real cold bastard, a true thief, under all that. And she needed to get rid of this onyx, Ganon's prized gem, out of her hands. Who to give it to but him? He would give it to his servant, whoever that was, and he'll get it back. How was she suppose to know that the Gerudos were safe keeping it in their coffers when she stole from it?
Iona jumped into the grave beside him."Hey! You! Eldrin! Do you want some real treasure? Like, nothing like from these old bastards?" she asked, flicking her head to the graves around them. She pulls out the onyx and holds it it front of her, but tightly clasped in her grasp. "I can make a deal, and it'll be all yours..."

"Yeah, assassin. Meaning I put some of these people here. And though they were scum, I still wouldn't rob their graves." Blade yelled back as he climbed down to where Eldrin and Iona.

Eldrin looked around at his friends standing in the grave with him and chuckled. "Ah, cozy... Few more and we'll have a party." He commented, sitting on the half buried coffin. He stared at Iona and the gem she held. He was already caught up in some pretty dangerous deals, and he didn't know if making another was the best idea right now... But still, he loved treasure. He sighed, "Alright, what's the deal?" He asked, his greediness getting the better of him.

She leaned in closer to Eldrin, slightly embarrassed. Never did she think the day would come that she needed to ask another thief for help! "You help me steal something, and you get the onyx. I need your help in stealing a crown jewel. You've been to the castle, right? All I want is one little gem, it's smaller than this,"she says, pointing to the main jewel on her forehead. "So what do you think?"

The sound of padded paws were heard in the grave yard. Sniffing noises were followed after it, a pair of green eyes shot through the night like a laser. The beast lifted it's head to show it's wolfish appearance, it stood on hind legs and it wore green clothes, torn and dirtied, but you could still see the green color.
A yellow fairy circled around the beasts head...curious...fairies did not accompany themselves with beasts such as this one.

Eldrin sighed, it sounded fun. Plus, he knew the castle better than Iona, giving him an advantage when he inevitably decided to betray her and take both gems. But he already had too much on his plate currently. "Sorry, I'm busy right now, if a chance arises I'll contact you." He said, strangely business-like compared to his normal demeanor.
Nine men entered the Kakariko Graveyard, all dressed in black with white porcelain masks hiding their features. The masks were marked with a triforce on the forehead, ranging in color from green, blue, and red. Three masks to each triforce color. For each color there were two masks with individual characteristics, and a third that resembled both. In each color there was a man wielding a silver and black sword, a man with a silver and black spear, and an archer wearing black bows tipped with silver and quivers filled with eighteen arrows in similar black and silver design. Their uniforms consisted of black shirts and pants, black boots and belts all of leather with silver buckles. Over it all they wore black cloth cloaks fastened with silver brooches in the shape of triforces.
The masked men acted in formation, though no orders were given. Three men, one of each color, guarded the gate to the graveyard. The remaining six split up, three heading for the Sarvonna Crypt, and three heading for the unmarked grave. Each group of three had one man with each weapon and one of each color
Eldrin peeked out of the grave and saw the men approaching. "Uh-oh! Conformity is never a good sign!" He said jumping to his feet and reaching into his bag. "Hey, Blade! Got a present for ya!" He said, shoving a package into the assassin's hands. It was wrapped in black cloth and tied with a silver string. "AND YOU!!!" He roared, turning to Iona and pinning her against the dirt wall of the grave. "Trade ya!" He said, normal again. While she was caught off guard he took the onyx from her hand and replaced it with a package identical to Blade's. Before either of them could respond he scrambled out of the grave and started sneaking around the edge of the graveyard, avoiding the masked men. The three men were now standing over the unmarked grave, staring down at Blade and Iona. All three simultaneously drew their weapons.
"Hand over the package and the thief." One with a blue triforce demanded.
Eldrin was paying more attention to the masked men than to where he was going and ran straight into the wolf. At first he jumped back, startled. Then he noticed that the wolf looked familiar, and the yellow fairy... And green clothes? "Artie?" He asked, staring in shock.

The werewolf stood up to it's full height and looked down at Eldrin and started to sniff, it's tail in a upright position...ready to attack if needed. It sniffed the air for a few seconds and stopped, it tilted it's head to the side and looked at Eldrin with it's green eyes. A sword and shield were carried upon it's back and it opened it's mouth...a howl nor a growl came out..but words "El...drin?" he spoke, the tone of the voice was male..despite the deepness. One could tell that the werewolf was a male. The fairy flew up to Eldrin's face and looked at him before saying "It is Eldrin! I told ya we could find him digging around in someone's grave!"

"Hey Sky! It's great to see you guys... But um... I'm in a bit of a tight spot... Wanna help? For old time's sake?" He smiled charmingly at the werewolf.

"Speech impediment?" Eldrin asked, momentarily distracted. "Oh yeah, not easy to make a wolf tongue say human words is it?" The three masked men that had entered the crypt exited it and started walking toward Blade and Iona.
"The boxes... They're decoys... This is the real thing!" He said, holding up an identical box to the other two. "Or is this a decoy?"

Artie sniffed the box and reared back at the evil stench that protruded from it "That...is...real one. As for...speech...long story..Sky explain." Artie said as he got ready to leap at the masked men.
"It may be a story for when we don't have to fight these goons." Sky said, returning to her spot around Artie. His green cap stayed intact for some reason.
